Yes, I think drag and drop works. To do it the other way, first you have to
pick an audio track, and then you go dig a file out with the audio file
manager, highlight it, and click on the insert button (which doesn't activate
until you have an audio track selected). It's a little fiddly, but it works.

In one of the menus (near the left) I think there is a "Manage Audio
Segments" which can me used to import .wav files. I also think you
can drag and drop from your desktop depending on what desktop manager
you are using.
Cheers,
Daniel.

Yeah - as Silvan said, jack might be an issue, but I haven't used jack with
mine (don't need to for what I've been doing)... so I don't know how well it
would play with multiple cards. If you do give it a try, be sure to have a
look at qjackctl - it will help with routing your various in/out ports.

PCI doesn't really have a problem with IRQs, so this isn't anything to worry
about.

You can get tons of things working simultaneously in Rosegarden, at least as
far as the MIDI side of things.
The bigger problem is audio. Getting JACK to use more than one soundcard is
more complicated a subject than I've ever felt like delving into. I have no
idea what would happen in that case.

It's probably 48,000, actually. Mine is, and I don't think the rate can even
be changed.

Like Brendon said, there's no hardware synth on the 7.1. MIDI in hardware is
pretty much an obsolte concept. The closest thing to a Roland Sound Canvas
you can buy new today is some soft synth software from Edirol that simulates
a Sound Canvas. What little old school MIDI gear you can still buy today is
almost exclusively at the $1000+ end. Apparently that kind of thinking has
influenced Creative as well. None of their newer soundcards have hardware
synths anymore.
So what you'd probably want to do, in the interest of avoiding figuring out
how to solve complicated problems, is use the 5.1 for MIDI playback and the
7.1 for JACK. That should be no problem. One of them will be "hw:0" and the
other "hw:1" and you just have to figure out which is which.

The default is to compile all of them, and to compile everything as modules.
Depending on how user friendly your distro is, it will probably mostly just
work after you boot with the new hardware in.

If you can't do anything decent with it because it's an ill-conceived consumer
piece of crap, then I can attest to using a 5.1 along with an Audiophile
2496. I run JACK on the Audiophile, and the other one just does MIDI stuff.
I have them linked through SPDIF, and it works spiffy keen like.
Or it did, actually. I've got the emu10k1 out at the moment, but that's a
different story.

I had 3 at one stage - 2x sblive 5.1, pls the on-board chip... no problems.
Before that, I an sblive 7.1 in place of one of the 5.1's.. so they can work
together.
> How do you load soundfonts for the 7.1, does asfxload work the same way?
No you can't - the 7.1 doesn't have on-board midi like the 5.1 does (at least,
at the time, I couldn't find anything that could tell me or prove otherwise).
That's why it's no longer in my computer... Also, the other giveaway, if
your 7.1 card is anything like mine - there's no external midi/game port on
the card either! It only has a row of 1/8" input jacks.

I was using Mandriva 2005 at the time & all the necessary ALSA drivers were
there out of the box. Perhaps your distribution is similar?
Hope this helps some.

Does anybody have any experience using an sblive 7.1 or two sound cards
at the same time with rosegarden? The reason for this question is, my
daughter bought me one for Christmas. I didn't have the heart to tell
her I really wanted an M-Audio delta. From what I read it uses irq 11
and the sblive emu10k1 that I have installed and am using already, uses
irq 12 so I should be able to use them both with alsa.
I am just wondering if you can get two sound card devices working in
Rosegarden. The older sblive works well with midi and I can plug my
keyboard into it, but does not record at settings greater than 16 bit
44100 stereo. The newer ca0106 chip on the 7.1 will record 24/96. So it
would be nice if to get them working together. Any help would be great.
How do you load soundfonts for the 7.1, does asfxload work the same way?
I know that with jack using qjackctl I can set my iput sources to pipe
to a different output. Too bad there is no Creative Linux user groups
that I can find. I will not install it till I know how to get it
cooking. Sounds like it will take another trip to kernel compile
Nerdvana and more checking through the alsa docs. I just hope that when
you do a make xconfig (or whatever) you can have alsa compile in more
than one sound driver at the same time, I should be able to do atleast that.
I have built a toggle switch to two rca's for the front panel of my
'puter so that the single auxiliary input on the ca0106 card can be
used for the cdrom and as a line level in....simple but effective. The
card only has an 1/8 inch single input on the back that does digital
i/o, mono mic, and stereo line. A stupid setup at best. So it is good
that atleast the cheapo card has another line level aux input that I can
use! I see why they are so cheap.
